Jalen Brunson records his 6th 40-point game of the season tonight in Portland.
Josh Hart records his 5th 15-rebound game of the season tonight in Portland. – 12:05 AM

Steve Popper @StevePopper
Nice ovation for Josh Hart because of his time in Portland and … never mind, Jalen Brunson gets a bigger ovation. Just a lot of Knicks fans here. – 10:06 PM

Stefan Bondy @SBondyNYDN
There is not a single duo in the better NBA who’ve played more minutes together with a better net rating than Josh Hart and OG Anunoby.
On Thibs embracing positionless basketball with two players who can guard 1 thru 4, maybe even 5s

Thibs pulled Josh Hart one rebound shy of a 20-20 game: “That would [have been] nice, but Thomas Thibodeau wanted to take me out of the game,” he said.
Thibs also pulled him one minute shy of 40: “He’s gonna give me grief about something.” nydailynews.com/2024/03/13/ins… – 12:28 PM

this is wild…
Josh Hart and OG Anunoby have shared the floor together for a total of 241 minutes over 14 games (not a minuscule sample size)
In those 241 minutes, the Knicks have held opponents to just 85.1 points per 100 possessions. pic.twitter.com/A1nBZ9Yxx2 – 11:38 AM

Tommy Beer @TommyBeer
new words:
* Anunoby raises the Knicks’ floor from good to great. And raises New York’s ceiling from great to “legit title contender.”
* Josh Hart is good and plays hard and does a lot of stuff

Only four NBA players have grabbed more than 100 rebounds and dished out more than 50 assists since the All-Star break:
Nikola Jokic,
Domantas Sabonis,
Luka Doncic,
…and…

OG Anunoby returns and it all fits as Knicks rout 76ers at Garden
Josh Hart has 20 points, 19 rebounds and 10 assists, Jalen Brunson gets 20 points and Anunoby adds 14. newsday.com/sports/basketb… – 7:21 AM

Josh Hart on Tom Thibodeau leaving his starters out there at the ends of blowouts (even though he didn’t do that tonight): “Thibs has some trauma he has to deal with.” – 10:46 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz
Josh Hart on if he wanted to stay in the game to get 20 rebounds: “That would be nice, but Thomas Thibodeau wanted to take me out of the game. Everyone complained about me playing 40 minutes. I could have gotten my 20-20 game, but he takes me out. So, appreciate it Thomas.” – 10:44 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz
Josh Hart on if he’s a triple-double machine now: “No, no, no, no. I just run around and pray I catch the ball. When I catch the ball, I run around again.” – 10:43 PM

Stefan Bondy @SBondyNYDN
Tom Thibodeau on Josh Hart not happy about being subbed out one rebound short of 20:
“He’s always giving me grief about something. Goes in one ear, out the other.” – 10:08 PM

Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Josh Hart played 39 minutes tonight. He finished one rebound shy of a 20-20 game. Asked if that’s why Hart was upset when Thibs subbed him out in garbage time, Thibodeau said: “He’s gonna give me grief about something: Goes in one ear out the other.” – 10:07 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz
Thibodeau on if Josh Hart was giving him grief about pulling him when he was one short of 20 rebounds: “He’s gonna give me grief about something. It goes in one ear, out the other.” Went on to talk about how all Hart cares about is winning. – 10:06 PM

Josh Hart with a monster game: 20 points, 19 rebounds, 10 assists. Only 1 TO. – 9:41 PM

Ian Begley @IanBegley
Long, loud ovation from the MSG crowd for Josh Hart, who checks out with 6 minutes to play and the Knicks up by 29 on PHI. Hart finishes with 20 points, 19 rebounds and 10 assists, his fourth triple-double of the season. Knicks outscored the Sixers by 32 in Hart’s 39 minutes. – 9:39 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz
Josh Hart was pumping his fist as the crowd gave him a standing ovation, but I’m pretty confident he was just celebrating that his streak of eight straight 40-minute games has officially come to an end.
He’ll finish tonight’s game with 39. – 9:37 PM

Rebounds tonight:
19 — Josh Hart

After 3: Knicks 87, Sixers 61
The only question left in this one is whether Tyrese Maxey, making his return from a concussion, will get some more minutes as New York has steadily pulled away.
Josh Hart already has a triple-double, Jalen Brunson has 20, OG Anunoby 14 for NYK. – 9:15 PM

Steve Popper @StevePopper
Biggest ovation of the night comes for Josh Hart throwing off his headband which seems weird but the Knicks up almost 30 so I guess anything goes. – 9:11 PM

Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Josh Hart gets a round of applause after taking his headband off and throwing it to the sidelines. He did this because the official didn’t call a foul on a rebound. Immediately drives to the basket and gets a layup.
Hart has another triple double tonight: 19P, 14R, 10A – 9:11 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz
Five minutes to go in the third quarter and Josh Hart already has a triple-double.

Josh Hart triple-doubles:
4 — Last 6 weeks
0 — Rest of his career
Joins Julius Randle as the only Knicks with 4+ triple-doubles in a season in over 40 years. statmuse.com/nba/player/jos… – 9:04 PM

Steve Popper @StevePopper
Another triple double for Josh Hart with 5:11 left in the third. – 9:04 PM

Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Halftime: Knicks 59, Sixers 41. Maxey has 12 and 4 in his return, but Knicks are shooting 55.8 percent from the floor and have a 24-13 rebounding edge. Josh Hart is already in triple-double territory, with 13 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists. – 8:32 PM

Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson hit back-to-back 3s in the final minute of the first half for the Knicks, who went on an 18-7 run to end the half and make it 59-41 at the halftime break.
Tyrese Maxey and Kelly Oubre have 12 and 11 for Philly, while Brunson has 15 for NYK. – 8:31 PM

Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
Josh Hart accounts for 70.8% of the Knicks’ points .(6 points, 4 assists, 11 points created from assists) – 7:58 PM

Frank Isola @TheFrankIsola
No offense, but if the Knicks title hopes rest on Josh Hart being rested….well, you know the rest. – 7:51 PM

Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
As expected, OG Anunoby is in the starting lineup for New York, along with Donte DiVincenzo, Josh Hart, Jalen Brunson and Isaiah Hartenstein.
Philly is starting Tyrese Maxey, back after missing a week, along with Kyle Lowry, Tobias Harris, Kelly Oubre and Mo Bamba. – 7:05 PM

Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
OG Anunoby and Josh Hart are starting for the Knicks tonight – 7:00 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz
Knicks starters:

Stefan Bondy @SBondyNYDN
OG Anunoby and Josh Hart are BOTH starting for the Knicks – 6:59 PM

Steve Popper @StevePopper
Does Josh Hart care if he loses minutes with OG back? “Anabudoby is getting 40 tonight! Not letting him get out of the game.” – 6:33 PM
